This year the Higher Education Academy History New to Teaching Workshop will be held at Loughborough University on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 March 2014. Participants will develop their understanding of innovations in teaching and learning, curriculum design, assessment and feedback, quality assurance and preparing for the academic job market.

This two-day event is designed for postgraduate, postdoctoral and early career historians interested in teaching history in higher education. Academic historians will share their expertise in designing, delivering and assessing courses and provide hands-on training in how to create a survey course in British, European, American or global history. Every participant will leave the workshop equipped with a syllabus of their own devising and have an improved understanding of issues in teaching and learning including assessment and feedback, quality assurance, innovative approaches and preparation for the academic job market.
